Download AppHub 3.5.0 for Mac

AppHub 3.5.0 was created to restore the traditional Launchpad experience that Apple had eliminated from later iterations of macOS. With trackpad movements, hot corner support, sophisticated grid customization, and keyboard controls, it replicates the layout of the original Launchpad, making it an ideal choice for anybody who needs a visual grid to open their programs fast.

It is provided directly by its creator rather than through the Mac App Store, with a free trial available for download and a license required for continuous usage, as Apple’s App Store policies prohibit programs that closely mimic native Apple features. Both Apple Silicon Macs and Intel Macs are supported.

Key Features:

Familiar Launchpad-Style App Grid:

The main function of AppHub is a full-screen visual grid that resembles the traditional macOS Launchpad. Large, tappable icons that may be arranged over several pages are how apps are shown. Users who switched to a newer version of macOS and lost access to the classic Launchpad will find this especially helpful as it allows them to resume their previous workflow without having to retrain their muscle memory.

Custom Folders and App Organization:

Users may browse commonly used applications, make folders, move apps around freely, and hide programs they don’t want to be shown. Anyone with a lot of installed apps will benefit from this since it maintains the grid tidy and allows users to combine relevant tools (such as productivity or creative tools) for quicker access.

Deep Customization Options:

The app offers different scrolling methods, light and dark mode support, custom background styles, and support for app names in any language. Power users and design-conscious Mac owners benefit most here, since they can tune the interface to match their desktop aesthetic and personal workflow preferences rather than settling for a one-size-fits-all layout.

Compact Mode and Flexible Window Sizing:

The program window may be resized and shifted to accommodate various displays and macOS scaling settings thanks to AppHub’s compact mode. This guarantees that the program grid doesn’t seem large or uncomfortable outside of a single full-screen context, which is especially useful for users running multiple displays or ultrawide monitors.

Trackpad Gestures and Hot Corners:

The app supports trackpad gestures and hot corner activation, so users can trigger the app launcher the same way they would with native macOS features. This benefits MacBook and Magic Trackpad users who prefer gesture-based navigation over clicking through menus or the Dock.
